Luna

Chihuahua Pug

Female, 4 yrs
Cheswick, PA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Luna and Harry must stay together for Harry's sake. He is the more nervous and tends to shy from new things. Their brother Henry we were able to separate after many months of work with Henry going to visit for an hour or so and then extending the time. Sadly this didn't work for Harry. They are 3 1/2 years old. They had never been outside and we had to acclimatize them to the real world. It took a year before they would willingly walk out the door on leash. Both are very sweet dogs once they get to know you which doesn't take long. They are pee pad trained but are going outside now. Small children are not recommended as the pair are not well socialized with small kids and the pups would probably react badly to pulling or trying to be picked up the little ones. They do well with some dogs but not all they meet, with a little work they can adjust.

Story
Hi there, I’m Cora! I’m a sweet little lady at 10lbs—likely a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix—somewhere between 7–10 years young. I came to Paws Across Pittsburgh expecting puppies, and I’ve been raising my three babies in a loving foster home. They tell me I’ve been an excellent mama, but my pups are getting ready to spread their wings, and now it’s my turn to find a forever family. I’m a gentle, quiet girl who would love a calm home with someone who’s around often. I sleep nicely in my crate at night and relax there when my foster family is out. I can be a bit shy with men and new people at first, but once I trust you, I’ll be your loyal little shadow and very best friend. I get along with other dogs, though my favorite place will always be the warmest spot on your lap. I’m missing a few teeth, so soft food is my preference—but it certainly doesn’t slow me down! I do well with outdoor potty breaks or a puppy pad, and while I’m not much of a barker, I’ll politely let you know when we have a visitor. I’m spayed, dewormed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations—ready to pack my tiny bags and move into my forever home. If you think we might be a perfect match, I’ll be available for adoption 12/17/25 through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182.  ##2590349##

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org Picasso - Creating Joy With Every Stroke of His Tail Move over, Michelangelo — there’s a new artist in town, and his medium is pure joy! Meet Picasso, a 1–2-year-old, 14-lb canine masterpiece who’s here to color your world with love, laughter, and a few perfectly placed paw prints. This pint-sized prodigy was found tied to a bus stop (clearly waiting for his next big exhibition), but he’s brushed off the past and is now painting a brighter future — one belly rub at a time. 💛 Picasso’s Greatest Hits (So Far): 🖌️ Compact size, museum-quality charm 🖌️ Excellent with dogs (especially the big ones — he loves the larger canvases!) 🖌️ Tolerates cats — after some initial “artistic curiosity,” he’s decided they don’t make great models 🖌️ Adoring of kids who know how to pet with gentle strokes 🖌️ Potty trained, kennel trained, and hasn’t marked his territory (even though we all know artists can be a little… expressive) 🖌️ Fully vetted and behaved like a total gentleman at the vet — no drama, just fine art 🖌️ Loves to snuggle and be carried like a baby — perfect for gallery tours or sofa exhibitions He’s playful, affectionate, and occasionally bounces around like a bunny chasing inspiration. When the muse strikes, you’ll find him zooming after stuffed toys, fetching with flair, or simply reclining on the couch like the distinguished work of art he is. Sure, every masterpiece has a few brushstrokes of imperfection — Picasso can be a little vocal when he hears something new, a tad too enthusiastic with smaller older dogs, and he’s still learning that sharing snacks is part of the deal. But with a loving home, he’ll polish his technique in no time. ✨ In summary: Picasso isn’t just a dog — he’s a living, wagging, tail-thumping limited edition. He’ll fill your home with laughter, your heart with warmth, and your days with color. So if you’re ready to adopt a one-of-a-kind original who believes love is the greatest art form of all — grab your brush (and your application)! 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org — because every masterpiece deserves the perfect frame… and Picasso’s looks best next to you. ❤️🐾🎨

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org ✨ Meet Sugarplum — the shy little sweetheart ready to melt your heart ✨ Sugarplum is a 5-year-old, 14-pound bundle of quiet sweetness who came from a hoarding case and is now learning what real love, safety, and comfort feel like. True to her name, she’s equal parts soft, sweet, and impossible not to adore — she just needs a little time to trust that the world is finally on her side. At first meet, she’s gentle, cautious, and prefers observing from a safe spot… but give her some patience, kind words, and a peaceful environment, and you’ll watch her bloom into the affectionate little lovebug she was always meant to be. Once you’re “in” with Sugarplum, you’re in. She’ll nuzzle close, follow you with those big soft eyes, and show you a level of loyalty that’ll warm you from the inside out. She’s great with other dogs and would thrive in a home with a confident, friendly four-legged sibling to help show her the ropes. In fact, she’ll take cues from another dog faster than you can say “Who’s a good girl?” (Spoiler: it’s her.) Her perfect home? A calm, patient human who works from home or is retired — someone who has the time and heart to help this sweet girl continue to build confidence at her own gentle pace. Sugarplum may not burst through the door with wild zoomies or immediate kisses, but the love she gives once she trusts you? That’s the kind of sweetness you can’t buy in any candy store. If you’re looking for a quiet companion, a soft presence, a loyal shadow, and a tiny heartbeat ready to be cherished… 🍬 Sugarplum is ready to sweeten your life — one tender moment at a time. 👉 Apply at haydudeequine.org and bring this precious girl home.
